Floor Staff Zap Game

TO MAKE THE GAME

Step 1:

Using thick tape, make 5 lines across your floor for the STAFF

Make a TREBLE CLEF using tape facing the correct direction

Step 2:

Cut pieces of paper for your cards, laminate them after you write everything

Make 20 cards that say ZAP

Make 2 of each card that has the different notes and rests, I used:

    whole note

    half note

    dotted half note

    quarter note

    eighth note

    double eighth note

    sixteenth note

    4 sixteenth notes

    whole rest

    half rest

    quarter rest

    eighth rest

    sixteenth rest

Make 9 of each card that tells you to move, I used:

    Move 1 step forward

    Move 2 steps forward

    Move 1 line forward

    Move 1 space forward

Shuffle the cards

Step 3:

Make many different 4 beat rhythms on computer paper or poster board, then laminate

GAME RULES:

1. The student must first correctly clap 1 of the 4 beat rhythms

2. The student must pull a card

ZAP cards-the student can't move

RHYTHM cards-the student must correctly identify the name of the note/rest and how many beats it/they get. If they get it correct, they can pull another card (until a zap or move card)

MOVE card-the student must correctly identify the pitch he/she is trying to move to (before moving)
